Jenna,

Your essay is like a very large old tree with multiple branches & deep gnarly roots — each branch & root leading to another & another bewildering mystery of life. Your intriguing research & abilities to take your readers on a thought provoking journey is utterly unique. When I grow up I would like to be able to write half as well as you. Thank you & may the gray in your winter be brighter than usual.

You are gifted with the ability to express yourself. I also know that in order to accumulate and decipher and deliver such a writing , it takes time and work. So thanks for that too. I have heard many say that “Curiosity of Life” is a key to joy and I believe that.

I think we have same reading lists! Love Firing Line and “This is Water” and Postman. Great stuff. Also like the way use images. It’s the best feature of Substack.

Great essay on the difference between what has meaning and what is worthless.

And hopefully, we can choose wisely between the two. It is a daily battle.

Beautiful writing that exposes the bad of the world. Keep up the good work and out of bad comes good like how the Good Spirit gives you the grace for such wonderful writing.
